The students thanked the Army, Petronet LNG Limited (PLL) and Centre for Social Responsibility and Leadership (CSRL), for supporting them in their efforts.
Singh said earlier, students of remote and peripheral areas were at disadvantage because of constraint of resources and lack of material available for studying.
But now, with the changing times and with the latest technology, information is easily available to them and there is no dearth of study material. This has helped the students from remote areas to achieve their goal in life, he said.
The minister asked the organisers to use latest technology like tele-education to approach students in remote areas.
